A member asked:

Is there a connection between women who have late pregnancies and breast cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Analysis of statistics shows women who have earlier age at first menstrual cycle, first childbirth at a later age & those who do not breast feed can have higher risks of breast cancer. But does not mean that all of those will get breast cancer.
